Method:
In a large saucepan, heat a teaspoon of rapeseed oil and add chopped garlic, cumin, nutmeg, ginger, chillis, cinnamon and fry for a few minutes. Add diced pumpkin and lentil and broth and bring to a boil. Boil on low heat for about 30 minutes, until the pumpkin and lentil soften. Add the spinach and cook for about 5 minutes until the spinach "fades". Season with lime, salt and pepper.
